Today is my last day in Minnesota - the campground closes for the season Sunday, and I have a two-day drive ahead of me. It doesn't seem fair that I have to leave now with the leaves still turning and a high of 80 degrees today. But the geese are flying south, and I must follow them.
Back to the city life, where temperatures are still hovering in the 90's. Back to going into an office most days, fighting for parking and for a desk (I don't have an assigned cube).
No more weekend campfires, no more lazy days on the sandbar. No more Zorbaz pizza, no more walks in the woods.
Sigh.
Okay, I'm done with the depression. I can look forward to seeing my friends in Texas for the next seven months. And I won't have to drive 4 hours to get to the airport in order to get a cheap fare. And there are birds in Texas too, and lots of squirrels. And possums, raccoons, and lizards to watch.
And no propane tanks to fill. No more scary days and nights when the wind threatens to blow my house down.
Is it May yet?
